One day those goal line ball dunks are going to bite us in the ass at the worst possible time

Hardly a complaint since we score on them, but every time Cam or Stew hurdle a pile and stick the ball over the plane I have an orgasm and a bowel movement at the same time. It's like landing on an aircraft carrier. Only the absolute best in the world can do it, and you trust them to do it, but if they're off by even the tiniest margin they're in the drink and everyone is fuged.

Cam and Stew have each had a ball smacked loose a split second after it crossed the plane - I fear someone will smack one mid-extension at the worst possible time, like in the fourth quarter of a playoff game that'll force Shula to not be Shula and we'll all know how that'll end up.

Hopefully I am wrong and we can all just enjoy the catharsis

This is one of the dumbest ways someone can look at just about anything

It must suck to have to wear a condom and a diaper to games

As long as the NFL does its job on replay review, all that ball has to do is touch the damn plane. 

In other words, though it doesn't look it, the possible risk is A LOT less than the possible reward.

But I hear ya.

Not comparable. That guarantees your car is going to break down or at the very least have serious issues soon. We are not guaranteed to fumble on a leap.

As long as you time your jump well and when you extend the ball it shouldn’t be an issue.

Yeah fair enough.

As far as goalline jumps I don’t really have an issue with them, the guys who do them are more than likely very conscience of where that goalline is before they expose the ball like that. 

However the “until it happens don’t worry about it” yah I think that’s dumb.

You can control that, you cant control what the panthers football team will do on Sundays.

You are taking it to the extreme @*FreeFua* 

The comparison you are trying to use would be if he was the player and trying to decide the consequence of jumping over the line with the ball reached over the line.

If we wanted to use your figurative comparison it would be "hey that guy on tv's dashboard in his vehicle is lit up like a Christmas tree but f*ck it. I’ll ignore this check engine light and all the others BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO

 

I see what you are trying to say, but the only thing you have demonstrated is that you are not good with comparative metaphors. :)

Again, I state : Celebrate the win, don't worry about items you can not control. It's pointless, and will drive you insane.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
